We've been lucky enough throughout the years to win a range of awards for our forklifts and materials handling solutions. Find out more about why we won below.

International Forklift Truck of the Year

In 2019, our TX3 electric counterbalance beat a tough field of competition to win the International Forklift of the Year (IFOY) award, in the counterbalance truck category. The expert jury who gave the award noted the truck's excellent ergonomic design and visibility-enhancing features.

We had another win in 2015, when our TERGO URS very narrow aisle (VNA) truck won the award, taking home the prize in the storage technology equipment category thanks to its versatility and maneuvreability.

Then once again in 2017, we received two nominations for IFOY awards — the EPH order picker in the warehouse trucks category, and the DPS floor sensor in the Special Feature of the Year category.
